Leicester_Loyal Posted 12 January 2021 Share Posted 12 January 2021 Anyone else think we should sign a couple of U21s if we're in Europe again next season? They don't have to be named in the PL registration squad and can also be on the B list for the EL. Even just signing one could be a good idea, they'd have to be half decent though, a bit like Fofana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too early and at 17 we have to wait anyway. Ajax as compensation should give us Danilo and Neres though for £20m. Talking of Ajax and wingers, was impressed with Antony for them on Sunday against PSV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think that deal has some degree of goodwill involved as his wages are astronomical! how else would they afford 160k or even half that when they’re top earner is on 60k euros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to score every time I check your score Yeah he's class, could have a big future. His free kick was majestic last night. Him and Soro have been the only bright sparks this season, the rest of the team around them have been garbage. The infuriating thing is Lennon waited until the end of November to play him. He scored 16 goals from midfield in a poor Motherwell side a couple of seasons ago. We had a deal agreed to sign him at the end of that season but he failed a medical and needed a knee operation and missed basically the whole of last season as a result. He started this season on fire for Motherwell again and we went back and signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he's on all that much at Marseille, in premier league terms anyway. 80k a week would get him imo and given there would be no fee that's decent business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can get a few more talents like that seems Scotland is having a bit of a golden patch atm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 Tbh despite the financial impact of covid! I think spend £30m Max on Edouard and I wonder if selling choudhary is to fast track Tavares into the first team squad. Then come the summer the squad doesn’t need anything other than free agents and loans in the next two windows at the very least. So many quality footballers out of contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many quality footballers out of contract We've literally never taken advantage of 'quality free agents'* I've no idea why, there was tonnes of them last summer. But i'd imagine it's more around us wanting to invest in people who will have a big resale value, rather than players who might end their career here/leave on a free a season or two later. *european based ones since our growth in stature...

So many quality footballers out of contract ...we are not going to be spending £30m on Edouard!!! He has been off the pace this season and his contract is running down (Expires 2022), £15m max should do it. Still think he has agreed to go to somewhere next season, it might just be us.
